Ready to enhance millions of customer journeys?

At Capital One, we’re on a mission to be a force for good in lending. You might think of us as a credit card company. Truth is, we’re just as much a technology business. Throughout our almost 30-year history, we’ve consistently been recognised as a great place to work; in 2026, Capital One was officially ranked 9th in the UK’s Best Workplaces™ list. Hear from our team about what it’s like working at Capital One UK.


Using technology to build the future of finance. That’s one good thing.

Our Tech teams continuously drive innovation to deliver a positive impact for millions of customers every single day. And that’s what makes a career in technology here like nowhere else. Our Graduate programme offers three different rotations within our core engineering teams, ensuring you gain a broad range of experience to support your growth into a well-rounded full-stack software engineer.

You could be:

  • Leveraging our cutting-edge technologies to push a mobile feature to millions of users,
  • Optimising high-traffic APIs to ensure seamless customer experiences,
  • Delivering site reliability upgrades to keep our systems stable and secure,
  • Collaborating across diverse, cross-functional teams to build and deliver game-changing digital experiences.

The problems are live, the stack is modern, and the impact is immediate. Imagine your code running in production, shaping how millions of people manage their money. That’s not a distant goal here, it’s your first few months.

Whichever area you choose, we’re invested in your success. You’ll receive high-quality professional and technical training designed to drive forward your development and ours. And you won’t be navigating this alone. You’ll be fully supported by a dedicated manager, professional mentor, and peer buddy as you take on impactful projects to change banking for good.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

What you should know about how we recruit

We pride ourselves on hiring the best people, not the same people. Building diverse and inclusive teams is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do. We want to work with top talent: whoever you are, whatever you look like, wherever you come from. We know it’s about what you do, not just what you say. That’s why we make our recruitment process fair and accessible.

We value diversity, inclusion and belonging at our core. We empower our associates to do great work by creating an inclusive culture—one that values diverse perspectives, fosters collaboration and encourages innovative ideas—and a place where associates of all backgrounds can thrive by bringing their most authentic selves to work. We call this our Culture of Belonging, and it rests at the heart of our business.

Our associate-led Business Resource Groups were created to help support our diverse population and include over 10 groups across our offices. Because each Business Resource Group is as unique as the population it serves, they offer a range of activities, networking opportunities, special events and learning programmes to associates.
